News: There is an SDK beta at 0.9.5 out…
There is also a new AT beta with buffered output and a CTS pin (yes, REALLY needed) – but as it’s beta I’l leave you to find all of that at the Expressif BBS site below..
But here’s the more interesting one http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=105&p=352#p352
I just grabbed the AT binaries based on 0.9.4 with NTP support added – hell of a lot faster than my website interrogation!!
Set the board up – do AT+CIPNTP=0
(where 0 is no offset from GMT – if you’re in the UK – adjust accordingly)…
Assuming it comes back to say it sorted it – (I HAVE asked if we can have “OK” or “ERROR” on the end) use AT+CIPNTP? to get the time and date.
A good move forward – NOT tested the rest of the code as it’s Christmas and we’re now off to see the family – enjoy.
I tried to upload 0.9.4 but it seemed to be not enough bytes.
The two files:
eagle.app.v6.flash.bin -> 0x0000
eagle.app.v6.irom0text.bin -> 0x40000
seems to be missing the rest of the flash.
Any ideas how to get a complete bin file.
thanks
head over to esp8266.com – erm I think there ARE only the two files… certainly in the version with NTP added there are only those two files… and that works a treat. You’ll find that here… http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=705 this is the one I am now using…
Hi Peter,
Did you ever get past the DNS resolving issues with the NTP firmware? I can not resolve the time servers at all.
I have a project where getting good time is needed. Other than grab the date\time from an HTML header I am not sure what the best approach is.
Thanks for all posts you have put out… They have helped me a lot with my learning.
Best Regards,
Stephen
In my blogs there are two solutions – there’s an AT command version which includes NTP – and that works – and also my own solution of a PHP page on any old cheap/free provider that gets the time – and also lighting up times – and returns an extremely simple web page with nothing more than that information wrapped in something easy to trip like {} Both work now …..make sure you have latest software.
